UNDER A RED CLOUD.
Morehead, KY, Threatened With Anotb.
er Bloody Battle.

MoREHEAD, KY, Aug. 5-A horrible
ARRAY is to-day reported to have taken
place yesterday at place called Dry
Creek, nine miles from this place. John
Taylor, Tim Kecton, John Vance and
Elliott Martin were on their way to
court here as witnesses. They were met
by gang of men, masked and armed,
halted and their business inquired into.
They refused to tell, when the maskers
opened fire on them; and, after wound
ing John Taylor and John Vance, and
killing Elliott NJ ,rtin they rode off. No
reasons are assigned for the attack save
that these mems evidence would have
damaged some one connected with the
late murder of the young Logans. The
soldiers slept in their clothes last night.
The feeling is at blood heat. The strain
is very great, and important develop
ments are expected. Yesterday after
noon sensation was caused IN court by
a war of words and recrinlna-
tons between Boone Logan and
L. Young. In the examination as to
the completely of grand jurymen, Logan
was exasperated by Young. Logan took
Young's remarks that his Logan's) char
acter needed investigation, replied
"And as for you, sir, have undoubted
proof of your actions for the
last ten years that will hang you"
Pistols were drawn among friends
of both sides, and many an ominous click
was heard resounding through the court
house. But the cooking of the rifles of
the soldiers on guard was heard to echo
along the wooden walls OF the fimsy
building. An order to load was heard
from the outside, and the sound of the
muskets told the excited crowd that the
first move on the part Of either party

TORONTO, Ont, Aug. A cable dis
patch to-day from London says that fresh
proposals for q settlement of the fisher
les dispute have recently been submit
ted to the government by the authori-
ties at Washington. They were approved
at Ottawa and have been favorably re-
ceived by the imperial government but
are still under consideration. The de-
tails of the proposals are not known, but
it is understood that more hopeful
view of the possibility of speedy settle
ment is now taken at the White House.
In referring to the fisheries question,
the deputy minister of fisheries ex-
presses his regret that the statements
frequently communicated to the Ameri-
can press with reference to the recent
seizure or detention of American fish
ing vessels are not of d more accurate
character. It is made to appear from
the statements published in the Ameri-
can papers that the crews of the
escaped vessels, Col. J. Ii. French and
Argonaut, brought TO Souris by the Ca
madam cruiser Critic, were not we'll
treated, and also that transport to their
homes in other fishing vessels had been
denied them. These statements, the
to the first, the collector Of customs at
Souris was instructed by the Fisheries
Department Immediately upon being
advised of the seizure of the boats and
seines and the detention of the crews to
see that the men were properly
taken care of and supplied with food
and other necessaries. With regard to
the second charge, the deputy says that
the collector was instructed that the men
should be allowed to go on any home
ward bound vessel if the American con-
sular agent at Souris would give an as
surance that the men would not be put
on board of the escaped vessels. 1t
would appear that prior to the
receipt of these instructions the
men had been sent home by the
steamer from Charlottetown. He fur
Their states that the department has in
formation that there are at the present
time over two hundred American fish

which have secured fares. Some have
abandoned their fishing voyage and
gone home. Mackerel are very plenti-
ful and are schooling well in shore where
the Canadian fishermen are securing
large fares.
The Department of Fisheries has
been notified of the seizure of two Amer
lean sloops named the Fanny and the
James A. Garfield. They were caught
in Quoddy River, New Brunswick,
bound for Eastport, Me-, with cargoes of
herring, and bad neither entered nor
cleared at any Canadian custom house.
Pending the receipt of further particu
lars the department gave instructions TO
release the vessels on the deposit Of a
small fine.

FLED From HER FRIEHDs.
A Relative of the Poet Whittier Leaves
Her Home.

DANvERs, Mass, Aug. 6.-The disap.
pearance of Phoebe Woodman, the &C
complished and beautiful daughter of
the poet Whittier's cousin, Mrs. c. G.
Woodman, who lives with her distin-
guished relative at Oak Knoll, a beau
tiful country seat in Danvers, has
been the chief topic here for
several days. The motive which
prompted her disappearance
is a mystery Although an adopted
daughter, Miss Phoebe was the idol of
the family and was especially beloved
by Mr.. Whittier, who entertained for
her the affection of father. While the
poet was spending vacation in the New
Hampshire Hills the girl disappeared
leaving no trace of her whereabouts, and,
SO far as can be learned, assigning no
cause for her act. On the after
noon of July %, her horse, tied
to a tree was FUND standing in q grove
near the railway station; and inquiry
brought out the fact that the young wo-
man had taken train to Boston. Search
was made but all trace of her was lost.
Yesterday telegram was received from
the young woman at East Saginaw, Mich,

ed BY fire on the 9th. The pecuniary
damage is placed at $1,25o,OOO. 1t is
believed that there was no insurance on

be due to the occurrence of pre-
vious suspicious fires in the
establishments owned by the firm. A
dreadful accident occurred while the
fire was in progress. Several of the
Whiteley's employees and score of fire.
men were crossing a trail bridge which
connected one of the burning buildings

which, it is thought, will prove fatal.
